K, I have an x800, 425/475 stock. But I dont have x800 cooling on it. I have 9800 cooling on it (dont ask why) and it heats up really high. Idle is near 55/39C. Games I've seen 80ish. I've got a Giant III on the way, and I've underclocked it every now and then if I go play games and its already hot up here.

Whats the damaging point on the cards? It runs 100% the way it did before, but I dont wanna be stupid with an x800...

It will be flashed to xtpe when the Giant comes in, but until then I've got a house fan blowing inside my case to keep things cool.
